This project is a remodel of a classic mid-century modern house built in the mid 1950’s on a hillside.

The first thing we did was open up the floor plan and take advantage of the amazing ocean views from the new great room. Next, we designed a new stair to connect the upper level to the lower level. As opposed to adding a top floor or pushing out the footprint, we were able to create a spacious master suite on the lower level maintaining the existing bedrooms above for family.

Mid-Century Modern

Our design includes a new roof and new exterior finishes in the same mid-century modern style. We added new deck space for the lower level and a new cable rail system for the balconies around the house. Every room is remodeled and updated keeping the same post-and-beam aesthetic and most importantly the tongue-and-groove roof/ceiling for the upper floor.
